Carter Submarine
Exhibition

In celebration of the 60th
anniversary of Jimmy Carter
becoming a submariner, The
Jimmy Carter Presidential
Library is hosting the exhi-
bition "A View from the
Periscope."
This exhibition of paint-
ings and drawings from the
United States Naval Historical
Center's art collection pro-
vides a unique look at the role
of the U.S. Submarine Service.
It includes a 1902 drawing of
the first submarine, Hunley,
as well as 42 other historic
paintings and drawings from
WWII to the 1980s. Artists
such as Thomas Hart Benton,
Georges Shreiber, and John
Charles Roach capture the
mystery of the submarine
and the adventurous nature
of those who serve on them.
Anyone who has served on
a submarine or knows some-
one who has won't want to

If you're tired of those
annoying room inspec-
tions, not having a kitchen
and not being able to have a
dog because you live in the
barracks, Naval Submarine
Base Kings Bay's housing com-
pany Balfour Beatty (formerly
GMH) has the perfect deal for
you. Balfour Beatty is offering
two to four bedroom housing
units to share, complete with
kitchens, living rooms, car
ports, balconies, back yards
and plenty of storage space
for any service member who
qualifies for Basic Allowance
for Housing (BAH) and cur-
rently lives in the barracks.
"If the single service mem-
bers who live in the barracks
now but qualify for BAH want

to join up to live in a two, three
or four bedroom unit as house
mates, each can draw on the
BAH, paying one low monthly
rent cost and pocketing the
difference," said Housing
Installation Program Manager
Paul Petroski. "Electricity and
water are included at this time,
so all they have is the monthly
rent, but now they can have
the added flexibility for visi-
tors and the extra room for
comfort. There are no security
deposits and no pet deposits
like there is out in town, so
this is really an ideal opportu-
nity for any single Sailors and
Marines who qualify for BAH."
The program started in
early April, but already some
single Sailors are jumping at
the opportunity and taking
advantage of the deal.
"My command put out infor-
mation about this opportunity

TTF Sailor

earns SOY

award
By Daphne Cassani
Trident Refit Facility Public Affairs
Officer
G M1 (SW) Kerrie
Coleman (C/751)
recently claimed the
Commander Submarine
Force (COMSUBFOR) Shore
Sailor of the Year (SOY) title.
A Columbus, Ga., native,
Coleman is the leading
petty officer at the Defensive
Ordnance Support Facility
(DOSF). He supervises and
mentors five first class and
four second class petty offi-
cers. Coleman is a paceset-
ter in the Weapons Repair
Department who led 60
percent of the Sailors in
his division to advance-
ment and 100 percent of
the Sailors in his division
to meet physical readiness
standards. Additionally, as a
result of Coleman's inspira-
tional leadership, half of the
Sailors in his division attend
college and are pursuing
degrees. Coleman is pursu-
ing a bachelor's degree in
adult education and is on
the Dean's List.
With regards to Coleman's
work ethic and performance,
he was instrumental in the
safe handling of more than
900 tons of ordnance. He
has demonstrated unpar-
alleled technical skills and
enhanced the facility's
ability to handle conven-
tional weapons. His efforts
directly contributed to TRF's
successful Explosive Safety
Inspection and the annual
Tomahawk Recertification.
When asked about his
reaction to being select-
ed as COMSUBFOR SOY,
Coleman said he was very
excited. "Being a surface
Sailor and getting recog-
nized as a stand-out per-
former at a submarine base
was terrific. The support I
received from my co-work-
ers here was unbelievable.

of the Quarter Award. With
more than 100 employees
competing for nominations,
it's not guaranteed that being

Senior and junior employees
of the quarter are Mrs. Debra

the nominations have been
submitted, a board is brought
together to go through the pro-

M any servicemem-

tage of the nice weather in the
spring and summer to shop for
a car. Whether you are buying
a new or used car, it is impor-
tant to do your research before
you even head for the car lot.
Many car buying mistakes
can be avoided by research-
ing, planning and creating a
strategy ahead of time. Our
offices see many people who

bought their car on a whim or
impulse and who never ade-
quately assessed the purchase.
Without advance planning and
comparison shopping, you are
an easy target at your local car
dealership.
First, you need to figure out
how much money you can
spend on your automobile
purchase. This sounds obvi-
ous, but I can tell from our
clients that very few people do
this step and end up paying
more for a car than what they
should. This step includes
choosing the options you want

On The Home Front

PTSD resources are available

By Beth Wilson
Periscope Contributor

Before we look at the
PTSD support and
resources available I
want to reiterate a few impor-
tant points. First, PTSD is
NOT mental illness. Stress is
the NORMAL reaction to an
abnormal situation. PTSD is
a normal and totally under-
standable response to combat,
disaster or trauma. Second,
PTSD is NOT a career killer.
This is a myth that permeates
the forces but it is just that,
a myth. Secretary of Defense,
Bill Gates, removed 'question
21' from security clearance
questionnaires (the question
that asks if you have received
counseling) acknowledging
that "you can be strong and
seek help..."
If your service member is
exhibiting symptoms of PTSD
there are resources to help. I
hope your service member will
access them. There are also
resources for you, the spouse.
Where to start? The internet
is a great resource for informa-
tion and www.ncptsd.va.gov
is a great place to start. This
is the VA's National Center
for PTSD. This site provides
information about PTSD for
both the service member and
the family, including children
and teens. Be sure to click on
their 'Web Resources' tab for
links to many resources, stud-
ies and programs. They also
produce an e-newsletter.
Also available online is
the Military Veteran's PTSD
Reference Manual. This
downloadable document

offers information on PTSD,
personal experiences, meth-
ods of treatment and support,
both traditional, profession-
ally assisted non-traditional as
well as self-help. Other online
resources include www.mili-
taryonesource.com, www.mil-
itaryhomefront.dod.mil and
www.vettrauma.org.
There are several books on
this topic that many find help-
ful in both understanding and
coming to terms with PTSD.
Down Range: To Iraq and Back
by Dr. Bridget Cantrell, Ph.D.
and combat veteran Chuck
Dean and their follow-up pub-
lication Once A Warrior, Wired
for Life are two books for the
service member to look at their
experiences and challenges of
coming home. Spouses will
find great information and
comfort from these resources
materials. In addition to these
two books, Cantrell and Dean
have developed aworkbookfor
re-integration and re-adjust-
ment after deployment called,
"Turning Your Heart Toward
Home." All three books can be
ordered through www.heart-
stowardhome.com.
Backfrom the Front: Combat
Trauma, Love and the Family
by Aphrodite Matsakis, Ph.D.
offers insight for veterans and
their families on how trauma
associated with war can cause
problems with self-esteem,
communication, sexuality and
parenting. Many wives com-
ment this book made them feel
like they were not alone while
offering insight needed to
support their service member.
War and the Soul by Edward
Tick, while a heavy read, offers

insight into the impact com-
bat has on the soul and the
potential to impact those who
experience war on a very deep
level.
Courage After Fire by Keith
Armstrong, L.C.S.W, Suzanne
Best, Ph.D., and Paula
Domenici, Ph.D. is a self-help
book written with the veter-
ans of Iraq and Afghanistan
in mind. This book provides
insight and coping strategies
for those who have served as
well as their spouses and fami-
lies. Check out their website
for additional resources and
information at www.cour-
ageafterfire.com.
Perhaps the most impor-
tant resource is professional
and sometimes the hardest to
seek. Most installations pro-
vide PTSD counseling in many
forms; one-on-one counsel-
ing, group therapy, and sup-
port groups. Contact your Fleet
and Family Service Center
(FFSC) for specific informa-
tion. Many service members
are hesitant to access services
on base. Through Military One
Source your service member
can access six free sessions
with a counselor.
Note: you can have six free
sessions per 'issue'. This means
six sessions for anger manage-
ment, six for depression, etc.
The Veteran's Administration
is another resource; you can
locate their services at www.
va.gov.
Remember your base
Chaplain's office is another
resource for you and your ser-
vice member. Your Chaplain
is bound by confidentiality so
you can speak with them con-

fidently.
Most installations offer
support services for you, the
spouse, as well as your chil-
dren. Please contact your
Ombudsman or FFSC for
information on classes and
support groups to help you
as you support your service
member. Should you feel the
need for professional support
you can self-refer for mental
health support through Tricare
and Military One Source.
Remember you need to take
care of you!
PTSD is a very real issue for
those serving in combat. It is
a topic that cannot be fully
covered in these columns.
Knowledge and understand-
ing of PTSD, the cause, signs
& symptoms, treatment and
support, and very real hope
and promise of recovery are
your best tools. You are not
alone, please let me know if I
can help in any way.

Anything But Dependent

(FFA) Fast Food Anonymous

By Marie Hobson
Periscope Contributor

I am a milspouse and I have
a problem. I've always
heard that admitting you
have a problem was the first
step. My problem is the Navy.
No, that isn't it . .umm, my
husband? No, I still like him.
How about that I'm a Mom!?
No, logical, but not the answer.
Maybe it's my job! (Sigh), still
not it. Maybe it is all of the
above tied together with a
pretty bow and the fact that
I am a woman! Ah ha! I hear
the music! I am talking about
my health. The husband is
deployed and what do most
Milspouse do when their hus-
band is deployed? They try
and get in shape! So, that's
what I am doing, except I am
weak . And the other night
I was more than weak. I was
stupid.
I have really changed my
eating habits over the last few
months. I've been reading
labels, buying fresh fruit and
veggies every week and mak-
ing out weekly menus so that
we never have to guess what to
make for dinner. It has been
wonderful. I eat six times a
day. I am never hungry, I have
plenty of energy and I never

Marie Hobson
Periscope Contributor

have that full bloated feeling
of eating too much. Even the
kids and husband have gotten
use to eating the whole wheat
bread and pasta. That took
some time. We are all eating
better and it shows! But, the
other night after the kid's prac-
tices, we splurged and stopped
at McDonalds. Not because I
wanted to, but because I forgot
to follow my menu and didn't
defrost my chicken. (It was
just one of those days) It was
7:45PM and my children still
needed baths. Did I mention
that their bedtime is 7:30PM?
The kids jumped up and down
in the back seat chanting,
"McDonalds, McDonalds"' I
gave in. My children get the
happy meal with chocolate
milk and apples. They are

allowed to have the other stuff,
but they like the apple and
chocolate milk the best. I on
the other hand always want
the "bad stuff"' But, on this
night I told myself walking in,
that I would have a fresh salad,
fruit, and unsweetened tea. I
kept saying it to myself over
and over in my head as if I
would forget. But when I got
to the counter, my brain didn't
connect with my mouth. My
mouth said, "Two cheese burg-
ers with Big Mac Sauce and
a Dr. Pepper, PLEASE"' Then
I got excited that my mouth
won over my brain! YES!!
VICTORY!! I enjoyed every
bite. It was amazing! Then, I
felt guilty. And then, two hours
after I ate it I felt sooooo stupid,
because my stomach was liter-
ally churning over and over as
if my food is looking for a way
out. I FELT TERRIBLE! What
was I thinking!? I now see
that my body does not want
McDonalds. I can't even
eat it every once in a while
because it now makes me sick.
But, I still want it! So, I came
up with an idea. It's a sup-
port group titled FFA (Fast
Food Anonymous). I need to
be able to call them when I'm
in the Drive thru lane... Here's
what would happen.

*ME: dialing 1-800-McFatty
*FFA: Hello, Fast Food
Anonymous
*Me: -deep breathing- low,
soft voice- "I'm in the drive
thru lane... again"
*FFA:-fast and con-
cerned voice- Have you paid
yet??
*Me: Um.. .uh...
*FFA: Yelling, "IT DOESN'T
MATTER"!!
*Me: . starting to hyper-
ventilate
eFFA: Calm now and speak-
ing slowly- Just turn your
steering wheel to the right
and slowly pull away from the
establishment...
*ME: Ok, ok, I'm pulling
away.. .Thanks FFA, I owe you
guys!
eFFA: No, Mam, we're just
doing our job, have a great
day.
A girlfriend of mine sug-
gested On Star have the FFA
feature. It's a genius idea.
Being a Milspouse isn't an
excuse at all. It does how-
ever make things a little more
difficult. So knowing that
there are more than just a few
women out there just like me
who really need to get back
in shape, not for a number on

Rock-n-Roll show on

display in Camden

By Paul Kraack
Periscope Contributor

There is something about
"the dance." It's the chal-
lenge of group synchro-
nization, the demands of the
required body control, and the
contortionist's flexibility that
make "the dance" intriguing.
There is also a unique camara-
derie that surrounds dancers.
For those that dance, whether
amateur or professional, the
pursuit consumes a large por-
tion of their days; for those
that dance, they know they are
part of a larger universe.
From Beijing to Moscow,
from Paris to New York, from
the Connecticut suburbs to the
South Dakota badlands, danc-
ers are preparing for a ritual
- the spring recital. Diligence
in "taking class" and sufficient
attention to technique pre-
pares dancers for this event.
Recitals are divergent and the
evidence of choreographers'
creativity. They are also big
business and, at least organi-
zationally, a pain in the neck.
(I have witnessed some recit-
als that were highly structured
and very efficient, but I think
that belied the huge amount
of work required to make them
seem that way.) Imagine the
resources necessary to keep
order among several gaggles
of four-year-olds girls, and the
ingenuity needed to keep bois-
terous pre-teens from killing
each other or having periodic
emotional breakdowns/out-
bursts/displays. And this goes
on in venues from Miami to
Seattle over the March to June
months.
One other thing I know
about the dance businesses is

Paul Kraack
Periscope Contributor

that they are hard to run. The
essence of dance is the artis-
tic and creative. The focus of
business is the rational and
economic. While it cannot be
generalized that dance entre-
preneurs are by temperament
unsuited to be business peo-
ple, it is true that they often
struggle with the decisions and
routine that make profits. Also,
like other businesses centered
on providing services and artis-
tic expertise in exchange for
fees, donations, and tuitions,
the hours and effort required
are significant and take their
toll in the form of "emotional
labor." Today, even the artistic
endeavor (Baryshnikov Dance
Foundation) built by one of
the world's most recognized
and celebrate dancers, Mikhail
Baryshnikov, struggles to make
ends meet and keep the doors
open.
This week, we have our own
fraction of this international
phenomenon to share, thanks
to the efforts of one of our
local studios and dance entre-
preneurs. Lisa Allen's Dance
Works will celebrate the
music revolution that wasn't
supposed to last with their
"Rock-n-Roll Show" at the

Camden County High School
Auditorium Saturday (May
31) at 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.,
and Sunday (June 1) at 1:30
p.m. Tickets are $8 in advance
and $10 at the door. In this
12th annual Dance Works
Showcase, dancers will rock to
music from the '50s to today's
alternative rock. Maybe some-
where on the agenda you
might even catch dancers
performing to the rhythms of
the rock anthem "Stairway to

KINGSLAND

CELEBRATES

ARMED

FORCES DAY

By MC1 (SW) Joe Sabo
Periscope Staff
Local Residents came out
on a beautiful Saturday
morning to lend their
support for the military by
attending the third Annual
Armed Forces Day Celebration
in downtown Kingsland
May 17. The event featured
a parade, keynote speakers,
musical acts and a cake for
guests to enjoy.
Kings Bay's Explosive
Ordinance Division and
Security Force Canine Unit
were among the attractions
for the parade. The speakers'
spoke with pride and enthu-
siasm as they showed sup-
port for the troops. Keynote
speaker Cicely Hill showed
her support and cheered for
the service members in her
speech and a bride and groom
stopped by on the way to their
wedding
"We are very blessed to live
in a country that is so free and
has so many freedoms," said
Georgia State Representative
Cicely Hill. "That freedom
isn't cheap. It costs many lives
going back many years, and
many of us can name many
people close and dear to us
that have or are serving in the
Armed Services. We should all
cheer and support them for
all their sacrifices and hard
work."

Ashley Campbell of the
Camden High School Volume
One Singers performed the
National Anthem, as the
Kings Bay Sea Cadets Color
Guard presented the Colors.
Ian Cooper and Ian LaBreck
performed a saxophone trib-
ute and Megan Unger played
a tribute on the flute. The
Kingsland Elementary School
Choir, directed by music
teacher Michelle Davis, per-
formed music throughout the
program.
"It is nice to see people sup-
port the military," said MA2
Wilkinson Kinyon. "It makes
you smile as you do your job
when you have support. When
I was in the Middle East with
my dog Yosi, there were some
days that support from family
and friends back home helped
pull me through."
The celebration concluded
with a cake cutting by Camden
County's oldest veteran Bill
Telega and United States
Marine Corps Purple Heart
Recipient Ian Phillips.
To close out the show, there
were two concerts one by the
fine melodies of Cumberland
Sound's Made in America
Concert and the headlining
act was performed by Lanier.
Fun was had by all on a
lovely sunny Saturday and the
military members on hand left
with a sense of satisfaction
knowing people care about
the service they provide.

EMPLOYEES: Winners earned award

with excellent customer service

Continued from Page 1
Lucas's current position is as
the director of NSB Kings Bay's
FFSC, which encompasses
providing leadership, man-
agement, policy, and program
expertise for the FFSC.
"There are two contributing
factors to my success; one is a
great home life that supports
me in all my endeavors, and
my co-workers who are like
a second family to me," said
Lucas.
"With my family and co-
workers supporting me, I can
honestly say that in my life
there has never been a day in
the last 16 years that I did not
enjoy coming to work."
According to Lucas, it was
her father's influence while she

was growing up that instilled
her level of work ethic and
dedication to doing her best.
According to Dotson, the
difference between the senior
and the junior employee of
the quarter is their pay grade
level.
Nominees that fall into the
senior categories are GS-9
and above, while junior nomi-
nees are GS-8 and below. She
also said they separated them
because in the past, when a
GS-5 and GS-12 were compet-
ing for the same award, the
higher grade person normal-
ly won due to the amount of
responsibility that person had
and the duties they did during
their day.
"Mrs. Smith's general atti-

SOY: Having the right
Continued from Page 1
They called me everyday while I was at the competition to see
how things were going. That meant a lot to me," he said.
Having the right supporting cast is vital to a person's career.
Coleman has that supporting cast in place and strives to pro-
vide that to the Sailors in his division. "I always strive to keep
the Navy mission first while maintaining a heightened state of
morale among our Sailors. Often times I'm asked by Sailors how
I am able to be so passionate about not only being a gunner's
mate, but the Navy, and my unit of profession as a whole. My
answer is easy. It's my support system at home. Without my
wife, Tasha, I would not have been able to accomplish many
of the things that I have. Not only is she the mother of our two
children, a working mother, and a full time student; she is an
excellent leader in our home when I'm away or deployed. I
always encourage our Sailors to take the same leadership, active

tude about her job is always
pleasant, and she is always
very professional with every-
thing she does;'," Said Lt. Cmdr.
Jeff Letsinger, NSB Kings Bay's
administration officer and
security manager. "One word
I would use to describe Mrs.
Smith is dedicated. She goes
above and beyond her job
description almost on a daily
basis. She is a great model for
anyone to emulate if they wish
to become the employee of the
quarter."
Smith has been at Kings Bay
for 20 years, and she has been
the assistant security manger
for almost the same amount
of time.
Her daily duties consist of
processing security clearances

for civilians and service mem-
bers, and compiling all neces-
sary paperwork on all poten-
tial people who want to work
on base. After 9/11, her job
became increasingly more dif-
ficult because of more strin-
gent security measures.
According to Smith the
favorite part of her job is meet-
ing new people, and helping
others with their security
needs.
"It's because I have a great
home life that I can stay focused
and dedicated to my work,"
said Smith. "The best advice I
can give anyone who wants to
become the employee of the
quarter is treat people like you
want to be treated and provide
good customer service."

supporting cast is vital
communication, and work ethic that the Navy has instilled in
us, into our homes as well as the community and represent our
Navy proudly."
Commanding Officer Capt. John Stewart praised Coleman's
selection, "Petty Officer Coleman's accomplishments on the job
are many, but I feel that it was his leadership qualities that really
made him shine during the competition. He is an inspiration to
his division, and they are very lucky to have him working down
there at DOSF," he said.
"I find it interesting that a surface Sailor working at a subma-
rine support facility can capture an award at this level. It just
goes to show what a person can accomplish if they work hard.
This is a terrific accomplishment, one to be very proud of, and
I could not be any prouder of Petty Officer Coleman. He is the
best of the best and a very fine example of the caliber of Sailor
that populates TR.E"

in BAH every month. By living in the barracks, that service
member forfeits the BAH and Basic Allowance for Subsistence
(BAS) and as a result is limited to eating in the Pirates Cove
Galley and is subject to room inspections and other rules
designed with more junior Sailors in mind. A two bedroom
housing unit will cost two single service members only $1,000,
leaving more than an extra $200 in each individual's pocket
every month.
"Now family housing can be seen as an extension of the
barracks, but without the room inspections or the same rules,"'
added Petroski. "This deal will allow barracks managers to
start renovating some of the BEQ rooms and provide better
flexibility to the boat crews for more unit integrity at the bar-
racks. More importantly, it allows those who qualify to live
in more comfortable housing, and lets our private housing
partner fill in some of their available housing units. It really is
an ideal win-win opportunity for everyone."
According to Balfour Beatty Community Manager Christa
Bethea, there are more than a few two-bedroom units avail-
able and dedicated to this program, with others that can be
made available in the future if needed.
"Eligibility is determined by the eligibility to receive BAH,"'
said Bethea. "You must be a single E-4 to be BAH eligible,
but some commands will make exceptions to this rule at the
digression of the commanding officer. It never hurts to route a
special request chit, but this is primarily for those who already
qualify for BAH."
To learn more about this great opportunity to live in base
housing as a single service member, call the Balfour Beatty
office at 882-1211.

MA2 Albert King (gold) takes a hard hit from World Class Boxing teammate Ronnie
Stevens during an exhibition match at the State Junior Championship May 3. King recently
tried out for the All-Navy Boxing team this past January. King won a spot on the team and
was given the opportunity to have several national fights in California with the different
branches of the military. Unfortunately, he did not win the big ones, but will return to
the All-Navy Boxing team in the winter for training camp. He will leave the Marine Corp
Security Force Company to go to Japan later this year, where he hopes to continue boxing
and improve every chance he gets.

Troops to Teachers

Program is ready

to help you teach

By MCSN Kenneth Abbate
Periscope staff
There are several dif-
ferent ways a service-
member can give back
to their community once
they've left the military. One
way to give back and start a
second career is the Troops to
Teachers Program.
The Troops to Teachers
Program has been around
since 1994 and is available
for all the military branches.
With the Troops to Teachers
Program, the federal govern-
ment will provide qualified
members $5,000 dollars to pay
the cost of getting certified in
teaching. In addition to that,
there is a one-time bonus of up
to $10,000, if they start teach-
ing at a high-need school. A
high-need school is classified
as such if it 50 percent or more
of the students that attend that
school qualify for Federal Free
Reduced Lunch Assistance.
In order to qualify for Troops
to Teachers, you must meet two
requirements: time in service
and education. Time in service
is equivalent to six years active
duty, 10 years drilling reservist
or have been medically sepa-
rated from the service due to a
medical disability. To meet the
education requirement, you
must have a four-year degree
from an accredited university
in any subject area or have 30
credit hours of college with
six years military experience
in an area that is taught voca-
tionally at the high school
level. According to Georgia
Troops to Teachers/Spouses

to Teachers Program Manager
Bill Kirkland, if you choose
to go through the troops to
teachers program, you must
teach at least three years at a
public school.
"We do not assign service-
members to a school, it is up
to the servicemember where
they feel that they would like
to teach. They can then use
the funding for the Troops to
Teachers Program to pay the
cost of making themselves
competitive for the position
they want to obtain;'," said
Kirkland. "There are some
small restrictions that limit
servicemembers choices on
where they can teach based on
the economics of the school
system."
There are a number of dif-
ferent certification routes
that an individual can take.
In the State of Georgia, ser-
vicemembers and spouses can
have a four-year degree and
pass the two GACE (Georgia
Assessment for Certification of
Educators) tests.
One of the tests is a basic
skills exam with math, read-
ing and writing questions and
the other is a subject content
assessment which grades you
on the subject area that you
choose to teach. Once you
complete the two GACE tests
and have a four-year degree,
you are considered highly
qualified to be hired but not
certified yet.
"Even though this means
that you are not quite certified
yet, you can receive a five-year
renewable teaching certificate
which means you have up to
five years to complete your

additional requirements," said
Kirkland.
Spouses to Teachers is a
similar program to Troops to
Teachers exceptthatthe money
is a lot different. The federal
government can provide mili-
tary spouses up to $600 to pay
for the two GACE tests. Unlike
Troops to Teachers, spouses
have no commitment to ever
teach although it is highly rec-
ommended. With spouses the
two requirements are that you
are married to a military mem-
ber, whether it is active duty
or reserves, and must have
either a four-year degree or
be enrolled in a program that
eventually leads to a degree.
According to Kirkland, the
purpose of the program was to
help provide quality teachers
who wanted to teach in high
need schools and who wanted
to teach in high need subject
areas.
"The quality of military who
have gotten out of the service
and gone through the Troops
to Teachers program have far
exceeded anything we had
ever hope for as far as teach-
ing quality," he said. "To date,
we have had over 10,500 folks
who have become teachers
through this program nation-
ally and 650 alone in the State
of Georgia."
If it isn't enough just know-
ing the amount of military that
have gone through the pro-
gram, it is the fact that military
has the respect of the folks in
charge of the program as well.
"The work ethic of the mili-
tary is one of the key points
that makes the troops such
good teachers," said Kirkland.

Georgia Troops/Spouse to Teachers Program Manager Bill Kirkland explains the Troops to
Teachers program to QM1(SW/AW) April Greggs during the monthly class. "The information
about the program was very beneficial because it actually made me get my thoughts together
and help me plan out how to get the stuff I need in order to qualify for the program," said
Greggs.

The Navy's newest nuclear-powered sub-
marine, USS North Carolina (SSN 777),
was brought to life May 3 during a com-
missioning ceremony held in its namesake
state at the Port of Wilmington.
More than 6,500 guests, including submarine
veterans and battleship North Carolina alumni,
attended the ceremony welcoming the subma-
rine as the fourth naval vessel named after the
"Tarheel State."'
The ship's sponsor, Mrs. Linda Anne Rich
Bowman, wife of Admiral Frank L. "Skip"
Bowman, retired U.S. Navy Admiral and for-
mer Director, Naval Nuclear Reactors, gave
the order, "Officers and crew of the USS North
Carolina, man your ship, and bring her to life!"
"You're a team and ready to go forth and
defend this country," said Bowman. "My hope
is that she (USS North Carolina) will sail in
peace to keep us free. My assurance is that she
will always be ready to defend that freedom
whenever necessary."
The ceremony included speeches made by
local and congressional politicians as well
as flag officers of the submarine force. The
Secretary of the Navy Donald C. Winter was the
principal speaker at the ceremony.
"As the fourth ship to carry the name North

Carolina, this boat will bear an illustrious name,
and follow in North Carolina's long and hon-
ored tradition as the home of military heroes,"
said Winter. "She now joins the world's greatest
Navy, and will be tasked with a wide range of
missions in support of battle groups, in recon-
naissance and surveillance missions, in special
operations, and as part of the submarine force
that continues to deter aggression from every
potential foe.":'
North Carolina arrived in Wilmington on Apr.
28 and participated in more than 50 commu-
nity events to celebrate the state's first name-
sake vessel since 1947, when battleship North
Carolina was decommissioned.
"The local community embraced us with
open arms and we will not only continue to
foster our namesake relationship with the resi-
dents of Wilmington, but also the great state
on North Carolina;'," said Capt. Mark Davis, USS
North Carolina commanding officer.
The Navy's newest class of submarine, the
Virginia-Class, is the first designed and built
post Cold War in order to meet the challenges
of the 21st century.
The USS North Carolina is the fourth sub-
marine of the Virginia-Class and has improved
stealth, sophisticated surveillance capabilities
and special warfare enhancements that will
enable it to meet the Navy's multi-mission
requirements.

Additions to CNIC Competitive Sourcing

By Mary Anne Broderick
Tubman
Region Southeast Public Affairs
The CNIC Competitive
Sourcing Initiative was
developed in 2003 to
provide the Navy with a work-
force strategy to determine
whether military and civil-
ian billets for certain services
should be retained or con-
tracted to the private sector.
Recent developments in the
conversion of five functions
have produced a variety of
results.
Air Operations, which was
one function identified for a
possible switch to commer-

cial service, will not proceed
to competition. This decision
was made jointly by CNIC HQ
and regional leadership fol-
lowing their review of research
conducted during a prelimi-
nary planning phase.
The Contracting Officer (CO)
canceled solicitation of Non-
Guard Security on April 3. This
action does not automatically
result in the cancellation of
competition. The next step
in this process is to request
direction from Department of
Defense (DoD) Competitive
Sourcing Official.
Competition for Emergency
Management and Dispatch
Support Services was post-

poned until further notice,
and then on March 25, CNIC
HQ and Regional leadership
agreed to pursue cancellation
of the competition altogeth-
er. The next step in this pro-
cess is to request cancellation
through the DoD Competitive
Sourcing Official, which could
take several months. Approval
of the request is not guaran-
teed.
Public announcements
for two new competitions,
titled Identification Card
Administration (ICA) and
Pay, Personnel, and Passenger
Transportation Support
(PPPTS), were issued March
31.

CAR: There are several pitfalls

in purchasing new and used cars

Continued from Page 1

on the vehicle and estimating
the fair price of each option,
before car shopping.
Second, once you have an
idea of what you can afford,
you can then start determin-
ing what types of cars fit your
budget and that you would
be happy to drive. Buyer's
remorse, in my experience,
happens more often when the
consumer does not do research
in advance and pays more
than what the car is worth,
or more than the consumer
can afford. If you have not
done your own independent
research through edmunds.
com, Kelley Blue Book online,
or some other independent
resource to determine the true
value of a car, you should not
be car shopping. Additionally,
if you are going to finance the
purchase of your car instead
of paying cash, you will almost
always do better arranging
for your own financing before
going to the car lot and not
relying on the dealership for
financing. Also, research the
dealer through the Better
Business Bureau online or
some other source to deter-
mine if its history of customer
service is a good one.
A common arrangement
used when the dealership is

financing your car purchase
is the "spot delivery." In this
transaction, you sign vari-
ous documents leading you
to believe that a firm contract
price has been reached. In
reality, all you have signed is
the application for financing,
which may not be approved
until well after you have left
the lot with what you think is
your new car. The problem is
that the car does not become
yours until the financing is
approved. When this type of
arrangement goes bad, the
consumer is often pressured
into signing a new contract
with less favorable terms.
If you are buying a used
car, you certainly should do a
CarFax report on the vehicle
to find out if the vehicle was
involved in an accident or has
some other defect. Beware-
you cannot rely on such
reports alone.
There is no substitute for
having a mechanic or a friend
with such ability look at the
car before you buy, to evalu-
ate its condition or to uncover
evidence of prior accidents.
You do not want to buy a used
car only to determine after
purchasing the car that it will
need to have a new transmis-
sion installed, for example.
Carefully consider whether

the car comes with a warranty
or whether you want to pur-
chase one to cover the used
car. Carefully read such war-
ranties to figure out exactly
what items are covered.
There are many other pit-
falls in purchasing both new
and used cars, but they can-
not all be discussed in this
article. If you think that you
may be in the market for a
car in the future, consult our
offices for advice on what to
avoid and how to come up
with a sound car buying strat-
egy. Or, request your com-
mand to invite us to do a car
buying clinic at your com-
mand. Region Legal Service

By Lt. Candice C. Albright
Navy Region Southeast Legal Office
One of the most popu-
lar documents gen-
erated by Navy Legal
Assistance offices is the Power
of Attorney (POA). Numerous
clients come to our offices
seeking this document, with
the best of intentions to plan
ahead for the future, either for
a deployment, a permanent
change of station, or because
of health issues. It is impor-
tant to make sure your fam-
ily, property and finances are
in good hands while you are
unable to manage these affairs
yourself. While a POA can be a
useful tool, it can be a misused
tool. Preventing the abuse of a
POA is up to you.
There are two types of POAs:
general and special. If you give
your agent a general power of
attorney, you have authorized
that person to do almost any-
thing you could do yourself.
For example, this list of autho-
rized activities includes the
ability to pay bills, open a new
credit card, or sign your name
to a contract. Your local Legal
Assistance office should ask

you questions to ensure that
you understand the impor-
tance of the document and
that you do indeed intend to
grant the broad powers found
in such a document.
The special POA is your
other option. This type of doc-
ument is strict in its language
and authorizes your agent to
do only a specific act or handle
a specific matter.
Examples include special
POAs to use and register your
car or to ship your house-
hold goods. The special POA
is shorter and clearly limits
what the agent can do. There
are a variety of special POAs
that cover common needs and
situations.
Why grant a special POA,
rather than a general POA?
Because our offices have seen
first hand too many cases
where general POAs were
abused by an agent that the
grantor thought they could
trust. This abuse often results
from the grantor exercising
authority well beyond the
expectations and the inten-
tions of the grantor-service-
member.
Classic examples of abuse

of a POA involve the pur-
chase of a large ticket item not
planned for in the family bud-
get. Another example of abuse
would be the angry spouse
using the general POA to clean
out the bank account before
leaving the servicemember.
Such abuse of these docu-
ments is especially tempting
to the agent with poor credit
who can use the POA to get a
co-singer on a loan for which
individually, and without the
help of a cosigner, the attor-
ney-in-fact would not qualify.
The result of this scenario is
that the servicemember is then
financially liable on the loan if
the agent defaults. Of course,
you cannot rely on businesses
or organizations to screen out
such abuse when a POA is pre-
sented.
They have no obligation to
do so. The responsibility is
yours to ensure that the indi-
vidual to whom you grant a
POA is trustworthy.
If you are considering
granting a POA, we encourage
you to discuss your options
with your local legal assistance
office. Legal assistance offices
can be reached at 573-3959.

Navy introduces new PT uniforms

By MC2(SW) David Beyea
Naval Media Center
The Navy introduced its
new physical training
uniform (PTU) to the
world, in a photo shoot, March
20-21.
The PTU consist of a gold
shirt with reflective Navy let-
tering and blue shorts with
Navy lettering and reflective
markings. The new uniforms
will be required for all group
and unit physical training
(PT) in the Navy, as well as the
semi-annual physical fitness

tests.
"It's to support the culture
of fitness and provide a uni-
formality among Sailors," said
Robert Carroll, the head of the
naval uniform office at Chief of
Naval Personnel. "To achieve
this, the Navy's leadership
decided to adopt the new PT
uniform."
The new PTUs will begin
hitting the Navy, with Recruit
Training Command, in April,
and will phase into the rest
of the fleet between May and
September.
Sailors will be able to pick
up their uniforms at Navy

Exchanges around the world,
costing $50 for the required
two sets of PTUs.
Simultaneous with the offi-
cial fleet rollout of the uniform,
flag officers, commanding
officers and command master
chiefs will have the opportu-
nity to purchase their PTUs
by calling the Navy exchange
uniform call center.
"It's called leading from
the front," said Carroll when
explaining why a command-
ing officer can get his PTUs
right away.
"The Navy wants to lead its
Sailors from the top."
